in this case the fbi. because we have americans who have been killed, american facility has been attacked. so the fbi does have investigative jurisdiction if the host country allows them to deploy the necessary number of agents and technicians to come conduct the investigation. but it also requires that some level of security be assured. we don't know that that government to what level they can guarantee the safety of the investigators as they come. so that's an enormous issue. and the other factor here to keep in mind is, here's a country whereby all accounts the majority of the population are very pro-u.s. they are very grateful to the united states. but an attack like this, we've seen it in our country, we've seen it all around the world. it only takes a couple dozen people with rpgs and assault rifles and a couple of pickup trucks to cause an attack. we saw that in mumbai with a dozen teenagers, basically, with grenades and assault rifles. we've seen that in other attacks. so this is not some sophistic
